I've seen people elbowed while jumping for a ball, where they then have no control over their landing, and no one ever calls for a red. But Mané protecting himself from an incoming foul when he's already won the ball and suddenly it's the most important decision ever. People are deluded if they think Mané is the kind of person to have ever tried to hurt someone on purpose. They're also deluded if they think Mané cared about Tierney as a player. He's a complete donkey, of course Mané doesn't want him off the pitch. So what possible reason would Mané have except protecting himself and Tierney got unlucky?
Please explain how Tierney has any chance to legally challenge for the ball in this position. All he's trying to do is go through the back of Mané like opponents do on 90% of Liverpool attacks. The elbow is the only thing saving Mané's left knee being taken out by Tierney's foul. please log in to view this image
You’ve literally just posted a still of Mane forearm smashing him in the throat. Yet in the World of the Kopite cultist moron you actually think you’ve somehow proved some other utterly bonkers point there. As I said, a bona fide ****ing idiot. Have a night off.
1. We will put out a second 11 cos of Thursday night...Chelsea can not afford to lose to us after that first half performance against WBA. 2. We can't win at home. 3. We are ****. 4. Chelsea are title challengers 5. Chelsea wont play Kepa. 6. We've played 14 games in the last 6 days. All that means a comfortable chelsea win ... anything else will see Frank under real pressure.
please log in to view this image Can someone please explain to me what Zidane was supposed to do? His head is literally the only thing stopping Materazzi kneeing him in the bollox.
Mane should have got a Red for not hurting him properly...if you're gonna elbow someone then at least do it properly ffs
I have to agree with @astro here @Tobes. You have to protect yourself and also practice the dark arts on a football pitch, that incident reminds me of the Holgate/Firmino incident. Holgate pushing Firmino away as he flings his arms back to strike Mason. Was Holgate wrong to push the dangerous player into the stands, no, because he did it to protect himself. I have even highlighted the direction of travel of the arm and leg he wass trying to swing at Holgate
IMO he got away with it because it was only a few minutes into the game. If it had been in the second half, I think he may well have got his marching orders.
Reminds me of this one, where Gerrard is forced into stamping 2 footed on Naysmith as he recklessly stared at Gerard’s knee cap in an aggressive manner.
